The 3 Portes café was located in the neighborhood of Les Marolles on the Place du Jeu de Balle in Brussels. It was an everyday meeting place for local people that unfortunately no longer exists. There are a few typical cafés like this around the square where people gather to socialize, drink, dance and flirt.
